wear blue: run to remember

A nonprofit organization


wear blue: run to remember is a nonprofit community that honors the service and sacrifice of the American military. Through active remembrance and purposeful movement, we create a living memorial to the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice, while supporting the families and veterans they leave behind.

In Texas, our wear blue communities gather for regular runs, remembrance events, and community programming that unite military families, veterans, active-duty service members, and grateful civilians. Together, we create spaces of connection, healing, and honor.

Your generous support through North Texas Giving Day directly fuels programs like:

  • Community Runs and Circles of Remembrance in communities like Fort Cavazos, San Antonio, and Dallas-Fort Worth.

  • Gold Star Youth Mentorship Programs that pair children of fallen service members with positive, supportive mentors.

  • Tribute wear blue Miles at local Texas races to honor fallen heroes with every purposeful step.

With your help, we can continue to ensure that no Texas military family grieves alone, no veteran feels forgotten, and every sacrifice is remembered. Join us in taking purposeful steps for those who gave all.

Every dollar raised stays right here in Texas — honoring, remembering, and supporting those who serve and sacrifice.
